Meteor Shower November 2009

From anywhere on the Earth the Meteor Shower November 2009 that took place was amazing and if you got a chance to see it for yourself, you’d be amazed too.

Unfortunately for some, the Meteor Shower was pretty late for some people. I believe it was 4am for some and people in EST time (like myself), it was at 1am last night (this morning). I was going to try to take some Meteor Shower pictures but I didn’t have a good enough camera to do so in the dark.

I read somewhere that people in the U.S. could view 20-30 meteors per hour which is a lot. And on top of that, during a Leonid Meteor Shower, the moon is not visible so the meteors stand out even more.

Again, it all depends on what part of the Earth you’re watching the meteor shower from. For instance, I read that if you’re in Asia, you could see about 200-300 meteors per hour. And possibly as high as 500 at its peak.

Unfortunately for us in the states, I read that we’re located at the worst place to view the meteor showers. Scientists say the best place to watch it is in Asia.

If I find any of the Leonid Meteor Showers 2009, I’ll post it on here.
